General Motors officially launched the 2021 Buick Envision just a few days ago, announcing the arrival of an all-new second-generation for the compact four-door crossover utility vehicle. Now, as the first units trickle in, inventory of the new crossover is quite limited. In fact, according to U.S. vice president of Buick and GMC sales Duncan Aldred, there is currently less than one unit per dealer in the U.S.
As GM Authority was the first to report, the initial production units of the 2021 Buick Envision began arriving at ports in December, and now, these first units are trickling into U.S. dealers. However, as Aldred confirms, inventory is still very low, with less than one unit per dealer in terms of total volume.
To note, the 2021 Buick Envision is produced at the GM China (SAIC) Jinqiao plant in Shanghai, China.
Under the skin, the 2021 Buick Envision utilizes the GM E2 platform, and now sports an elegant, taut new exterior style that takes cues from the 2018 Buick Enspire concept vehicle. The front end features horizontal headlamps with check-marked lower lighting signatures, which sandwich a horizontally oriented grille section bisected by a lateral styling line and Buick logo.
The interior was also redesigned, and now features an available 10.2-inch diagonal infotainment screen, as well as Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa. On the safety front, the 2021 Buick Envision features tech stuff like Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Front Pedestrian Braking, Following Distance Indicator, and Forward Collision Alert.
Under the hood, the 2021 Buick Envision is powered by the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gas engine, which is rated at 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Both FWD and AWD are offered, with a nine-speed automatic transmission included as standard.
Inventory may be low, but the 2021 Buick Envision is on sale now, with pricing starting at $32,995, including destination.

You keep showing the same interior photo in a color combo that’s not available in the U.S. It’s a shame really, as GM continues to offer the same boring interior colors.
Just like black, black and more black you mean.
Made in China to benefit the CCP. WHY WHY WHY, after the CCP very public declarations to make the USA dependent on China, would we make a very major purchase of a Chinese Product??? The Globalist Corp Execs in that Ivory Tower in Detroit really are clueless. #BoycottChina
Omg why are you still typing on your communist Chinese made electronics???
Snowflakes
Because in that department I have ZERO choice Einstein. But believe me clueless millennials, I/WE do have a choice in most other purchases. So go ahead, you indoctrinated clueless globalist Progressive under 40 crowd, keep ignoring what the CCP is doing. They’ll own your grandkids some day.
Luckily not many of these androgynous umbrella toting effers are reproducing anyway. They’ve been socially distancing since long before the CCP Virus, too afraid to ask a girl out for fear of being branded a pervert or accused of sexual harassment. Can we even still call them girls? Honey, let’s begin with your preferred pronouns!
Who can keep up with the head spinning foolishness of the left that’s spawned a generation of outraged youth without futures and left so many innocent Americans genuinely befuddled at the recent revelation that we’re all racists, misogynists, xenophobes, homophobes and a bunch of other stuff we’ve never even heard of because they keep inventing new terms on a daily basis to demonize us. The Chinese are collectively laughing their a55es off as America eats itself alive.
The 2021 Envision is a very good looking vehicle, btw. Too bad it’s only imported from China. Nyet!
Yeah sure, it’s the “bUt i hAd nO cHoICe” whining for me… We all acknowledge that Walmart makes under-privileged boomers to be able to maintain their living standard, which you should be grateful for (Can you even afford more than 50% of your purchase being Made In USA?). Also, your “American” cars might as well being made by Mexicans or Latino Americans with tons of parts and chips from communist China (highly recommend “American Factory” on Netflix). And yes, my new Honda quite likely has more American FREEDOM parts than your car (unless you drive a 2020 Tesla, Cherokee or Ranger).
While you keep supporting Walmart, I’m shopping at organic, local, and POC/Indigenous-owned small business (true American). 😉
Top selling trim level expected to be the Beijing Biden commemorative
This vehicle is made in China because we don’t buy enough Buicks to make it worthwhile to tool up a plant in the USA to build them.
Fact: 2020 Buick sales number:
926,328 in China v.s.
162,749 in the USA
China buys more than 80% of the Buicks GM sells.
Similar to Buick & Cadillac sales in Europe. they don’t sell nearly enough there to warrant dedicated assembly facilities. You want to see new Buick models built in the U.S.? Then probably just quit being a keyboard warrior and actually BUY more Buicks instead of Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.
1. Did NOT say make Buicks in USA. Make them ANYWHERE BUT CCP CHINA!!!
2. I bought a 2011 Buick Regal when it was re-introduced. Smart looking peppy pony. Great Euro style sport sedan, not my father’s Buick. Totaled in a deer hit in 2017. Went right out & bought another low mileage used 2011 Regal at a steal because the sheep are indoctrinated into the Honda & Toyota families.
So funny that you said you like Buick Regal, then you should probably know the fact that China is the only place where you can still buy a brand-new Buick Regal, Buick LaCrosse, and Cadillac CT6 (all locally made). And you know why? Because Chinese people are still buying a lot of sedans and especially American sedans (the only sizable international market for American car brand). Japanese and Korean customers would never consider new American cars because their own cars are more superior already. GM never even had a chance for competition in Japan and Korea, why would GM invest to build cars in there? Now the Chinese buy more than 80% of the Buicks GM sells, their customers kept Buick and Cadillac alive until today instead of being thrown into the trash bin during GM bankruptcy. Read some global car market history and economy 101 and you’ll feel better, trust me grandpa.
Also why you suddenly don’t support MADE IN USA any more now? All my cars are made in Alabama, Indiana or California. USA! USA!
Grandpa??? You’re nothing but a smart phone jockey who thinks he’s smarter than everyone else with that device in your hand. You have ZERO smarts on how to use that devise to your benefit Einstein. You don’t even know the HISTORY of WHY Buicks are so popular in China. In fact I highly doubt you know ANY World or American History because you’ve been part of an indoctrinated generation of “Progressive Globalists”. Good luck with that SON!!
